mazoo gentleman named B., who
has since retired, and whose name 10

creditablepieces OF verse andhumorous
anecdotes which in appear print and
are usually widely copied B.
had local reputation for asking just
little more for his goods than any
Of his competitors. There came to
the classic shades OF Celery vile In
thoSe days an ambitious but impecuu-
ious youth TO sit under the teachings
Of President Greory and bis band OF
professors in Kalazoo College. In
tense thirst for literature and an emp
ty pocket were too much for the
youths moral backbone. He was
caught one day stealing book from
Main street store. On account OF
the disgrace it would bring 10 the
name of education the matter was
hushed up, and the young man let OF
under promise Of making full restitu-
ton of the purloined volumes. He led
the way to his room pointed out
long row of books which be acquired
through systematic course of shop
lifting. 1t was choice collection;
be had stolen with rare taste
The books were taken down, ,identi-
fed by the dealers marks, and sorted
into piles. 1t was noticed that though
every other store in town had been
touched for one or more tones, Be
stock was not represented in the plum
der:
Now said a grave professor, turn
ing to the misguided student: now
that it is all over tell why you have
never stolen any books from Brother
B.
We'll. III tell you. Whenever |
took down one of Mr.B-'s books
and looked at the price it scared me
out; I didn't dare to steal so much-'-

crossing we had 10 leave the railroad track
and take % the woods, on account of trestle
work over "A creek. During all this time
the lightning was striking about us with
heavy crashes, and the flashes were some
times so sharp that the horses seemed dazed
for moment.

were half mile from the crossing The
thunder and lightning had passed over, but

off our horses and stood under the trees at

piled:

days at one time. AS soon as | got
there there was an influx of newspa-
per correspondents from oil parts.

getting ready to run for Governor;
others that | was working up boom
for the presidential nomination. One of
them came to meand boldly asked me
what | was doing in Ohio. /. just
happened that on that day | bad con-
tracted with a man to repair some
fences on my place that were in a
tumble-down condition. So when
that newspaper man asked me what i
was doing in Ohio / told him that |
had come home to look after my fences.
He published what 1 said, the ex-
preston was taken up by the papers
and went all over. 1t has been used
on some occasions in the British Par
lament. It's funny how these politi-
cal expressions originate. In some
city just before election the Democrats
employed an immense number of la.
bors to lay water pipes. That's what
gave rise to tie expression layin,
pipes. You remember that at one
time the Democrats were called loco
focos. During Democratic meeting
in New York the participants grew SO
turbulent that it became necessary to
extinguish the lights. The partici-
pants, left in total darkness, pulled
out locofos, as the old fashioned
matches were called. That's how
that name originated

The prohibition amendment TO the
constitution is absorbing so much Of
the attention of the people, that per-
haps few of the voters are aware that
there are five other amendments 10

the same day. One of these amend
mcnts increases the per diem oflcgisla-
tors So for 80 instead of GO DAYS
Another concerns taxation in unor-
ganized counties. Another provides
for registration of votes in towns of
10000 inhabitants. One provides for
a change in permanent investment OF
university fund and another is an
amendment to tho judiciary article.
These amendments are all TO he voted
upon on the first Thursday (not Tues
day as frequently published) in Au-
gust, and voters would do well to get
one of the papers which publishes the
amendments as advertisements and
read then carefully.

agrees with the DR.. The principle of

of liberty. Both allow the citizen to

him the privilege of giving it to his

dertake TO punish man for attempted
self destruction, but would hang him
for the destruction by any other
means than whisky of his fellow

liberty except where it effects "the

whisky as he can strichninc, but the
law will prohibit him from giving or
selling it TO another as a beverage

in Texas, in many respects, for the To-
cation of their cotton factory. and the

or character of assistance. Dallas
must have these industries.
